TOKYO (AP) -- Japan said Monday it has caught 59 whales - one short of the maximum allowed by international guidelines - under a research program that critics say is a cover for commercial whaling.

The annual expedition off the port city of Kushiro ended over the weekend after harvesting 59 minke whales, the Fisheries Agency said in a statement. A maximum of 60 is allowed under the research program authorized by the International Whaling Commission.

    • The photo in that sign seems bogus, but nonetheless something fishy is going on with this "research" and there should be an in-depth checkup done on it. Whales are smart mammals and therefore kin to me and you.

    • I love the sign that guy is holding! What could be more suspicious? It's like they already know what everybody is thinking. I'm sorry, but it'll take more than sign to convince me they're just "collecting tissue samples". Samples to eat perhaps.
